Your start with our success programme

The WALTER GROUP is known for optimally preparing new employees for their future tasks. The fact is that we fully integrate you into the team and the daily business from day one and immediately consider and treat you as a full member of the WALTER GROUP. As someone who gets started straight away and offensively tackles their tasks. Sounds like you're jumping in at the deep end, but you're not. Because your ongoing coaching by professionals is an important aspect of our "Train the Winner" trainee programme.

Perfect preparation for the young professional

After completing your education at university or secondary school, you are now taking your first steps into real business. Now is the time for training on the job, for joining in the conversation, the work and the decisions. And for a multitude of subject-specific seminars and workshops as part of our trainee programme, which lasts several months and turns any newcomer into a professional.

"Train the Winner" is about the decisive last mile. To find that place in the WALTER GROUP that best suits your talents, under the supervision of your own coach. So that you, as a young professional, are soon responsible for your personal field of work and, depending on your position, can take on the following tasks, for example:

independently travel to your markets
acquire and oversee business partners
actively participate in the development of our more than 170 logistics divisions
further optimise our existing systems or develop new ones in the Shared Service division
and much more

Languages are a key to success

The WALTER GROUP operates internationally throughout Europe. Although German is our company language, we communicate with our business partners in their native language. Which is why language skills are not just important from the beginning, but are specifically promoted within our company:

In individual training and group courses, you can learn a new language or improve existing language skills.
With language training in various European cities (e.g. St. Petersburg, Krakow, Lisbon or Malaga) you'll polish your skills.
